Penguin Crime and Punishment Dostoyevsky Fyodor

Dostoyevsky's great novel of damnation and redemption evokes a world where the lines between innocence and corruption, good and evil, blur. It tells the story of Raskolnikov, a destitute and desperate former student, who wanders through the slums of St Petersburg and commits a random murder without remorse or regret. He imagines himself to be beyond conventional moral laws. But as he embarks on a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a police investigator, Raskolnikov is pursued by the growing voice of his conscience and finds the noose of his own guilt tightening around his neck

Writing from the fraught political landscape of 19th-century Russia, Dostoevsky explores corruption, morality and visions of a utopian society. These novels are at once gripping and profound

"Преступление и наказание" Федора Достоевского - одно из самых значительных произведений в истории мировой литературы.
